Marth & Peeps @ Apex 2012

[C.J.]

Things that have happened:
Ramin lost 0-2 to Anti
Anti lost a MM to Zero
USA beat the world in a melee crew battle after the USA gave the world a 9th player (Captain Jack who bodied Hax. PP then made CJ look like he just picked up the game).
Red Halberd beat San 2-1 in a MM
Ally lost to Vinne, 4-3, in a $100 MM. Ally was salty, ran it back for $50 and won in 4.
Ally vs Rain MM. Rain was up 2-0 in MK dittos. Ally went Snake, won 3-2 overall.
Dojo > Ramin in a friendly.
Brood/Rain over Dojo in friendlies.
Ramin styled on Kakera "winning while spamming platform cancels." (Kakera was MK)
Ryo 2-0'd Esam in a MM.

 

[ScareMl]

damn ramin lost to everyone except the japanese haha

how good is this red halberd dude?

 

[C.J.]

Brawl crews is tomorrow at like 5pm.

PM me your number and I'll update you.

Halzy 3-0'd Zero's MK w/ Snake in a MM shortly after Zero beat Ally's Snake. Zero can't deal with hardcore camp, and was confused as to why he lost.

Halzy/Rich Brown are teaming and beat MLG/FOW in two straight MMs.

 

[Sinister Slush]

*This is Nike from the hotel*

No Ally won. I recorded the end lol

Mike and Ramin played as soon as Mike showed up. It was Mike's first games off the plane, though, and Ramin went Snake. Ramin won 2-0, 2 stocks each.

Was in a hotel last night with Neo, Mike, Laurel, an P3. Was pretty epic.

OH! On sunday we're having the marth ditto tourney.

-$5, winner take all
-capped at 8 (we can't realistically do more than that)
-Double elimination bracket

It's gonna have Mike, Ramin, Leon, Neo, Kadaj, Mintyflesh, Pierce (he's considering it), and Zex

Everyones more or less decided to do their money matches in the tourney. I'm gonna try and ask Alex today if it can be put on the stream, perhaps before they do the real bracket.

Signing off now. I'm texting CJ everything thats going on at the venue regarding the marths, so yea. Hype.

 

[C.J.]

Ally won? Or Rain won?

Ally > Rain

Never heard of Halzy, that's actually pretty hype. And wait Ally lost to Zero? What was the set count at? This is getting me way too excited for tomorrow.

edit o wait halzy is red halberd right? lol, I see.

Yes, Halzy = Red Halberd. I'm lazy so he's Halzy, lol.

Halzy = RedHalberd, unless he's talking about someone else, then I'm confused.


I'm following chaosmarth's twitter for updates atm.

Yup

What the... Zero beating Ally and losing to a hardcore camper?...
Was the match between Zero and Ally the MM they had?

For Rain-Ally, it appears that rain won, unless cj turned the score in favor of ally

I don't know the score between Ally vs Zero, just that Zero won. And Zero is good at stopping approaches. His approaches aren't that great. So he beat Ally because Ally approaches and goes for super hard reads. Not that surprising.

 

[C.J.]

Nick Riddle and Seibrik take game one off of dojo and ally (ZSS/Wario vs double MK)
Esam and Zero both 3-1 Leon in a MM.
Kadaj vs Zero MM. 1-1 got interrupted so they couldn't finish.
Seibrik got buttraped game 2 on SV. Ally/Dojo- 1 NR/Seibrik- 1
Game 3 going to PS1. Ally/Dojo win, 2-1

That was supposed to be an edit... My bad. Shaya, can you merge them please?

Why is Nietono/Rain fighting M2K/Ally round 3?

 

[C.J.]

Ally beat Rain

Ally lost to Zero.

Nike was talking about Rain.

Espy/Kprime 2-0 Ocean/Karamity.

Chibo/Leon 2-1 YBM/Zeton

RedHalberd/Rich Brown vs Orion/Mr. R coming up next.

 

[Player-3]

took adhd to game 3 in a MM, SD'd at 40% second stock brought it back to his last stock at 40%


sup

 

[C.J.]

Tell 4GOD I wish him luck!

Also, Nike/RedHalberd/ED/Socal in general have my number if something awesome happens, tell him to tell me.

RedHalberd/Rich > Ramin/Orion

Halzy/Rich vs Vinnie Snakeee

M2K/Anti vs Nietono/Rain... and it's not on stream. /mad
NVM, it's on stream now, hype.

America takes game 1 on YI:B. 2 stocks left, one each. High % each.
America wins 2-0 on BF. One of the best doubles matches I've ever seen.

 

[C.J.]

^^^ Agreed, lol.

Also, am I the only one who thinks that whoever wins this tournament in singles is almost irrelevant? Every person in the top 8 is going to be so godlike that you can't really say that the person in first is "better" than the person in 2nd-8th. It's going to be so incredible.

Dojo/Ally vs Kakera/Otori. This is going to be awesome. Ally/dojo lost game 1 easily w/ quad MKs. Ally goes Snake, wins game 2. 1-1
Japan wins, 2-1

Vinnie/Snakeee > Rich/Halzy

Esam/MVD vs chibo/Leon.
Florida will win imo. Leon/chibo can surprise, but, I doubt it.
Leon/Chibo take game 1, but lose the next two. Leon is sooo good.

 

[Jeos]

Thank you cj

How are doing kadaj and zero?

 

[Shaya]

LEON SHRINE

LEON SHRINE

LEEEEONNN SHRINEEEEEEEEEEE

<3 leon

 

[C.J.]

No word on Kadaj and Zero yet.

LEON IS RIDICULOUS.

Zex/Sky are beating Holy/Tinman solidly. Zex's Marth is really solid.

 

[C.J.]

And I agreed completely didn't I?
=p

I did steal the second to last last sentence from you though.

Havok terry vs Illmatic and TO Joe.

Kadaj/Zero > Esam/MVD

[ScareMl]

[C.J.]

ADHD/Nairo 2-1 Sky/Zex

ED!!! (sheik/zelda main), Lexi (solid pikachu), and mampam (solid Diddy and Halzy's brother) all got second seed in pools. Ramin trolled his pool with Marth/Snake/Sheik. Straight 2-0s.

Brood/Yukhoe vs Chu/Fatal coming up.
America takes game 1
Chu/fatal win 2-0

Gnes and HolyNightmare each got first seed.

Halzy/Rich beat atomsk/dabuz. Fighting dojo/ally next.

 

[ScareMl]

^was the adhd/nairo vs sky/zex match winners?

 

[C.J.]

Yes it was.

NEO got 2nd seed to Domo in his pool.

Eazy lost to Paw (mk vs ZSS) in pools 2-0.

 

[C.J.]

Pools are going atm. I'm posting information as I get it so just check back here periodically.

There are two girls wearing sonic hats went out the emergency exit, alarms everywhere. Cops were called earlier because smashers were walking through closed places in the food court. TOs are scared.

Vinnie/Snakeee 2-0 over domo mjg

Eazy is going all MK in pools. Eazy/Biz/Paw are top 3 in pools. Biz is probably 1st, interesting to see which of the other two make it out

Eazyis down 1-0 on Biz, switches to Falco on BF.

Singles matches should be hitting the stream soon- including Leon's pool.

Punishment Divine didn't make it out.

 

[Albert.]

any of FGCU news?

 

[C.J.]

Nothing that I've heard albert. I think they've all drowned in pools thus far.

Nietono/Rain knocked Ramin/Orion out of bracket

Bizkit 2-0s Eazy.

Halzy/Rich take game 1 over dojo/ally
Evened up
Dojo/ally win, 2-1

Domo/MJG vs nietono/rain
Japan is up 1-0 over midwest

Quick rundown on who is left in teams:
Jason^2, Kadaj, Leon, Esam, 3 Japanese teams, Mike, MJG (probably not for long), Dojo, Gnes

Mike/Tyrant is up next vs nietono rain.

1-0 Japan

 

[Albert.]

Mike & Tyrant lose game 1

and then **** in Game 2

2nd edit:

2-1 Mike Tyrant beat Nietono and Rain !!!!!!

 

[C.J.]

Tyrant is on point. Soo good.

1-1

 

[ScareMl]

MIKE AND TYRANT BEAT NIETONO AND RAIN! tyrant did work

 

[C.J.]

Tyrant did GREAT work game 2, Mike went IN game 3.
WC beat nietono/rain

Otori/Kakera vs Snakeee vinnie
I'm going to say Japan
5 stock when Vinnie was G&W. Vinnie goes MK, 4 stock instead. Geez.

Blackanese teevee > brood yukhoe

Kadaj/Zero vs Chu/Fatal
2-0, kadaj loses

Blackanese Teevee > MVD>Esam

Atomsk got first seed... they had a 4 way tie for 2nd.

Nike lost to Trela, 2-0. He says the way he played would have made me proud though. Waiting for Luckay (a pit apparently) to show up for their next pool match.

 

[Jeos]

kadaj and zero lost to chu and fatal 0-2 =/

are they eliminated or in loser bracket?

 

[C.J.]

Not positive, but pretty sure that puts them into loser's.
Zero/Kadaj vs Havok/terry
Kadaj gets roofio'd at the beginning. Socal up, 1-0
Kadaj goes MK, SDs almost immediately due to input error, socal wins, 2-0

Jason^2 vs TX

 

[Jeos]

kadaj and zero out

 

[ScareMl]

so who's left in teams?

 

[C.J.]

TX, Jason^2, Mike Tyrant, Katori, Dojo/Ally, Blacka/Teevee, chu/fatal, Havok/Terry off the top of my head.

M2K clutches game 1

 

[Jeos]

is there a lgl? how zero did so many ledgegrabs?

 

[C.J.]

LGLs only apply to if the game goes to time.

Sky/Zex over teevee/blacka

 

[ScareMl]

who the hell is blacka/teevee

adhd/nairo still in?

 

[C.J.]

Blackanese and teevee are old school players who are gods in doubles.

I haven't heard of them being beaten in winner's yet, so I'll assume ADHD/nairo are still in

Jason^2 > TX

 

[ScareMl]

WC vs Texas now

game 1: texas
game 2: mike gimps gnes twice in the first 10 seconds lol wc 4 stocks texas
